A new emerging protocol emerging, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), is being developed within T11 as part of the Fibre Channel Backbone 5 (FC-BB-5) project; it is not meant to displace or replace FC. FCoE is an enhancement that expands FC into the Ethernet by combining two leading-edge technologies (FC and the Ethernet). This evolution with FCoE makes network consolidation a reality by the combination of Fibre Channel and Ethernet. This network consolidation will continue to maintain the resiliency, efficiency, and seamlessness of the existing FC-based data center.
IBM offers 10 Gb FCoE PCIe Dual Port Adapter (#5708) that is a high performance, 10 Gb, dual port, PCIe Converged Network Adapter (CNA), using SR optics. Each port can provide NIC (Network Interface Card) traffic and Fibre Channel functions simultaneously. It is supported on AIX and Linux for FC and Ethernet.
For more information about FCoE, read An Introduction to Fibre Channel over Ethernet, and Fibre Channel over Convergence Enhanced Ethernet, REDP-4493.
